Throughout history innovators have flourished during crises, solving needs and shortages, and the current coronavirus pandemic is no different.

Medical-grade materials play vital role in product development and fight against COVID-19

Additive manufacturing companies create PPE, ventilator parts, and test swabs as stop gap measures while traditional manufacturing ramps up.

As the medical industry faces unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, manufacturers are stepping up to help with supply chain disruption and shortages.

A skin sheet printer, recreated mummy vocal cords, and the world’s largest 3D-printed boat are a few additive manufacturing highlights so far in the new year.

Medical manufacturing innovation is being aided by Protolabs and its ever-expanding services.

Consider materials along with manufacturing processes for medical device prototyping.

A family story shows how medtech innovation can be personal, making Protolabs’ new alliance with Cleveland Clinic Innovations especially gratifying.

With its in-house machine shop overloaded and a need for molded prototype parts, NOVO Engineering turned to Protolabs to aid in the development of a continuous glucose monitoring system.

Humotech works with scientists and engineers at universities and government research labs who are exploring next-generation assistive medical device designs.

Digital, on-demand manufacturing can help Medtech companies in need of quick-turn prototyping or production, much like consumers use Amazon Prime

Direct metal laser sintering is often used to manufacture complex, metal medical components.
